Suspense-a feeling of uncertainty of what is going to happen
1.Know (no one) one really knows or has seen the owner of the island. "I haven't seen my employer yet." page 19 2. When the boat was drifting into the rocks of the island. " Fred shut off the engine, they nosed their way gently into a little natural inlet between rocks. Must be difficult to land here in dirty weather." 3. When the owner of the island is using different names and ways like paying people and when signing letters to get the guest to come. " I'm empower to hand you 100 guineas in return for which you will travel to Sticklehaven, Devon.", "Yours sincerely U.N." page 6 and 8 4. When Mrs. Rodgers is seen as a ghostly figure in the mirror. Foreshadowing- is a literary device in which an author indistinctly suggests certain plot developments that might come later in the story.
1. Vera Claythome found the old nursery rhyme on the wall. "Over it, in a gleaming chromium frame, was a big square of parchment-a poem. Ten little Indian boys wen out to dine; One chocked his little self and then there were nine....." page 30 2. Fred, the boat driver, said that you "Can't land on the island when there's a southeasterly. Sometimes 'tis cut off for a week or more." 3. When the old man told Mr. Blore that his day of judgement is at hand. "He's nearer the day of judgment than I am." page 16 4. When Lombard tells Vera that a wasp is going up here arm. "Six little Indian boys playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were five." page 20/31
The reason why are(our) group picked these examples because these are good examples. After reading the poem the example of foreshadowing fit right in with the poem. The rhyme shows how the people die and the chapter gave good clues about the guests. I think the poem will go with how the people die! The reason why we chose the examples of suspense because they fit right in with the examples of foreshadowing.
Elliot- You are right! Suspense and foreshadowing do go together. Typically the suspense makes the reader uneasy and leads to the foreshadowing that makes you want to keep reading. Your quotes fit in quite nicely. Be sure to pay attention to conventions, too. (spelling, punctuation, grammar) Mrs. M 12-4-12
